Portfolio logic: Step out of the box and view an investment as what it is, ownership of a company. No investment banking metrics and complex derivatives calculations. Lets pull a “Buffett” and invest simple and in what we know.

The Portfolio will include the company name, ticker and their current price as of the day/time posted plus my logic behind the pick. This is NOT a mutual fund so I have no rules to follow or industries to pretend I am an expert on. I’m an artist, I paint a financial picture like Vincent van Gogh, one dot at a time and in the end you see the beautiful masterpiece.

Let the games begin!
